The sequel to the original Far Cry dispenses with Jack Carver, and moves the action to a war-consumed Africa complete with an open-ended storyline involving civil war, several hours of missions, heated gunplay, and a slew of dynamic elements powered by a new engine.
"Time for the modders to get to work, it seems. :D"
Too bad there isn't a real SDK (at least yet)."
I was just going to say the same exact thing. That's what bugs me most about FC2 right now. People seem to be jizzing over the editor, but it's actually extremely limited. The maps you can make are small and are for exclusive multiplayer use. You can't place weapons, NPC's, logic triggers, anything. If Ubisoft doesn't give this game some modding tools it's not going to have a community for very long (if at all).
Anyways, I"m not a huge fan of the game either...but I can't say it's a horrid game. I hate how long shit takes to get done, but that's just some peoples' thing. Personally, I prefer a more concise and focused game...like Dead Space.
this game due to its mechanism is more challenging than the other shooters specially on Xbox 360 and PS3 in which you can not save the game anywhere like the PC version .
lol " arrg i suck at this so im gonna put my anger on a pointless thread and watch people agree with me and praise me for starting such a glorious revelation of a post"
Yes I know, this game is so shallow. Once you get your fill of blowing shit up and setting stuff on fire there is nothing. It looks pretty, and you can take on enemies the way you want to. But their Eagle eye vision, insane jeeps, infinite respawning, weak story, weak NPCs, Weak Malaria system, weak programing (fucking glitch city)...etc. I actually hate this game.
" I can't figure out how to fire a weapon. This game is horrific." It sure sounds like your inability to shoot is the problem. Every time I came up on a check point, I shot everyone I could, got in the mounted gun of a jeep and shot everyone else when they appeared. It worked. And it never got old.
game was really annoying until i got out into the desert and out of the stupid swamp into the open and shadow free land. i could actually see enemies without cranking the gamma.
The high point of farcry 2 is a machette rush. If you dont run through the paths of gunfire to hack the enemies down and finish them off one by one then you arent playing properly.

Looking back on my prior comments, I can say that I definitely felt like that at the time of the game's release. Has it seriously already been 9 months? My goodness, time flies in Video Game Land. Nonetheless, I enjoy the Hell out of the game now. You just have to be into wandering around aimlessly and wrecking shop on some fools!
I love the single player, I do admit for a shooter it is a bit unforgiving though. and i Hate having malaryia, its not that its that hard to get pills just the whole concept of it annoys me. but I love the custom map maker.
